It wasn’t nerves or apprehension…it was just a palpable excitement. I walked in the room and you could feel it. It was filled with the buzz of finishing touches and last minute fixes. The smile on Erin’s face…which never went away…said it all. She was ready. Ready to marry Nick. The strong, quiet guy who stole her heart.
When Nick saw Erin his face lit up like he was seeing her for the first time. But in a way he was. From that point on she would be his wife…and that was something you could tell they were both more than ready for. Their day unfolded perfectly. From her dress to his socks to every little detail. Everything was so them. The whole day was a perfect mix of laughter and tears…family and friends…and the beginning of their life together.
Erin and Nick…thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of your special day. I know your guys’ life will be nothing short of happiness, love and delicious meals. Speaking of which…double date soon??
These girls had their shoes down…
Erin…you are breathtaking.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen him smile that big…
Nick did good…
Rawr Mrs. Fiore…rawr.

Sally, thank you so much for your kind words! I loved being a part of such a special day…they definitely made my job very easy! 🙂
OMG, Lauren, I should not have looked at these at work! I’m trying really, really hard not to cry. <3 What beautiful work you have done here. Just as with the engagement pictures, you have truly captured my sister's personality, and really, every nuance of that wonderful day. Amazing!
Unbelievably beautiful pictures of Erin and Nick!!! Love them all!!!
Erin, you are absolutely radiant, but Nick, I’ve never seen you so happy!!! Your smile, your eyes, your body language says it all – the two of you will have a good life together as long as you keep these memories in your heart that Lauren has captured so well in these photos…I keep looking at them and every time, a memory pops up, or I see something I missed, or I recall something that I’d forgotten already. In all the activity of the day, did I ever say to the two of you: CONGRATULATIONS!!! My heart fills with pride and joy when I see the two of you together…
